Kind of spooky how we changed the tfw program limiting it then bam this comes out and had been negotiated all along.

It could be a massive change for canada.

Remember fear mongering about Canada-US free trade and wheat board campaign against WTO agreement.
More of he same, TPP will have enough opposition in other countries. More trade dependent ones like Canada, Australia and New Zealand have most to gain.

Foreign ownership threshold for review raised to over a billion.

What am i missing? The liberal gov. has to pass the TPP. If the deal is so bad for canada as some on here imply, won't the lib. gov. rectify the situation?I'm impressed with you riders, it sounds like you have many connections in other countries that feed you accurate information everytime!

Maybe stop reading Stevie's weekly propaganda and read what other countries are saying.

Is it not a fact about the worker clause?

You extremists need to open the mind up

No wonder Stevie wouldn't realease the details before the election date. Some in there will be good but some of it's insane and only good for the millionaires.

The minute our governments sign on to these "trade deals", we are obliged to give away some of our basic principles so that corporations can "trade". Well, we're doing quite well in the trade department. When we produce quality foodstuffs, there is no problem finding a market. There's a need for good safe food and as long as we use our heads, we'll have all the markets we'll need and more. harper, living within his cloak of secrecy thought he could pull another one off, and you guys voted for him.

the Conservative party is apparently a religion.
when ever the pope ( Harper )says anything, it has to be true.

conservatives are the best and infallible.
simple as that.

the followers need not question or understand it . just believe

have faith
sure sign contracts , that no layman knows what they mean.

i personally have trouble understanding one paragraph.

yet some of you will sign up to all 6,000 pages of it, because you believe.

Must be a poor deal as both Republicans and Democrats are talking about renegotiating it before it would pass a congressional vote.

Ridiculous having the new world masters (corporations) dictate global policy behind closed doors.

[stonepicker]

If the republicans and democrats both want to renogotiate, that tells me the deal must be pretty good.Again, nothng is passed yet. If the deal is so bad for canada, then the lib's won't pass it, what can be better than that for the doom and gloomers?

Every farm group but dairy producers is for TPP.

NDP and unions are against it so that is a good sign.

At the end of the day, the Liberals will have the final say whether it is ratified or not.......so riders and the other lefties will only have Justin to blame.

stonepicker the liberals are just another team with same owners as Harper.

that is the sad part
the electorate thinks they really made a change.
fools.

it will be rubber stamped
